Hi...I'm currently using a Daewoo Multiformat DVD Recorder with good specs which works perfectly.
However, Maxell DVD+RW's with disc unfinalised : if for example, I have three thumbnails (say, A, B, C) of recorded material and want to keep A, but delete B & C, then all I get after deletion are: empty thumbnails for B & C up to the recorded time previously used for each.
In other words, the empty space is not shuffled up...
This means I can only 're-record' material that would fit into these time-slots...not an ideal situation...
Trying to erase an 'Empty' thumbnail cannot be done on the Daewoo. So, I cannot 'release' the empty space in that way.
Also, if I wanted to erase 'A' as well, I'd then be left with THREE slots that could only be used as above...
In other words, I couldn't erase the whole disc and free up the full space again...Exactly the reason for having RW discs!
I've tried deliberately recording over the time limit, but the recording merely stops at the time available for that slot...
I have also used Imation DVD-RW's as above with no problems - the deleted thumbnails in this instance are 'gathered' up so as to present ONE empty thumbnail - ie the capacity of A+C. Perfect!
Now: does anyone know if this is a 'problem' with all '+RW's'/ just Maxell's?
Or has anyone experienced this with Daewoo recorders in particular?
Regards
